Called the dealer out on the we want your trade mailers.

my 2016 SR5 was at 36k and needed new tires got a mailer stating they would give top dollar for my trade. Zero money out of pocket. Payments went up $50. Traded the SR5 for a 2018 TRD Sport. No payments until February is nice this time of year. Bought the 16 new. HIDs Morimoto XBs already ordered.

 

Called them out, or went for the bait? Either way, congrats on the upgrade. How many more months are you in for now?

 

“You can’t afford this truck”

*signs loan papers*


I see this all the time

 

I dunno if I fell for the bait. Told them what I wanted, terms I wanted and if it can’t be met no biggie. They met it. I don’t keep vehicles for more than 40k miles so owning a vehicle with high resale value helps a lot.
Months didn’t get extended. Same terms and APR as the 16 (2.9%)

 

My payments are $360 a month. I could easily afford more, but the kid wants a Lexus when she graduates college. If she marries her engineer boyfriend it won’t be my problem if she doesn’t , it is.

 

get ride of a vehicle at 40K. Jesus I would be trading in once a year, ugh

 

What is the total cost increase with taxes? Do you not trust the Tacoma past 40K miles?

 

About $3000. I trust it after 40. Wanted a Sport and if the terms were right I was GTG.

 

Leave the guy alone. If he wants to rent vehicles and have payments every month of his life until he dies that's his choice.

 

Oh we’re not messing with HIM... just judging his life choices.

 

This seems like a huge waste of money especially if you don’t buy Tacoma’s. But to each his own. Leasing seems like a lot better deal in your case(in a Tacoma in might be a wash because of resale value).

If your only paying 360 a month you must have put a significant amount down initially on your trade in Tacoma?

 

Wow girl wants a lexus eh, if it were my girls I wouldnt even need to tell them they need to work for what they want even more when its a luxury like a having a lexus...

 

OP, congrats on your new truck! I love my DCSB Sport.

 

Just curious how much did they give you for a 2016 sr5 with 36k on it? Mine will be around that in a couple years (3 years old and 36k miles)

 

I don’t know. Paperwork says $30k. I was a payment shopper.

 

That dealer loves you. You are on their favorite customer list.

 

oh man, You can always get the payments lower, they'll just make the loan longer

 

There is a sucker born every minute
